Kalkandu Pongal Recipe
I was little worried that i didn’t post any new recipes for pongal this year. I always wanted to make something new this pongal, but somehow i couldn’t find time to make. This morning when i woke up, i was stubborn to make something and guess what i made not one but two recipes for this pongal.
I saw this pongal recipe in quite a few blogs, and i wanted to try it so badly. So i gave it a shot and it came out quite good. For me it tasted like sarkarai pongal in white form. But the taste was so good, everyone loved it. And when i was shooting this, my sister brought maha. As you can see she has started grabbing things:)
